The net external force on a golf cart is 395.2 n north. if the cart has a total mass of 259.1 kg, what is the cart's acceleration? answer in units of m/s 2 .

Applying the Newton Second Law of motion that is F=ma
We have F=395.2N (North) and m=259.1Kg

Putting these values in the equation

395.2 = 259.1 x a than
for a = 395.2/259.1
a = 1.525 m/sec 2

    5.5 n======    assuming that      we have      m = 0.145 kg    a = 38 m/s²therefore    5.51 n, but two significant figures.final answer: 5.5 n
